    Left handed, but everything at my work is designed for rightys so /shrug, somewhat ambidextrous as a result.

    I also throw Frisbees Right handed but footballs/baseballs I throw left handed.

    I'm predominately right handed, but for some things like batting in Baseball and holding a hockey stick/golf club, I prefer left handed more than right handed for some reason.

    Yeah, but people like to pretend they are better than everyone, hence why we get 20% ambidextrous.
    Well that may be it to some extent, but then again maybe people don't know what being ambidextrous really is, they just think you can use both hands, but not to what extent.

    I've always been able to use both my hands very well, but I've always favored my left hand. I used to get ALOT of people picking on me about it too, because of the way I write. (If you've ever watched left handed people write, we do it pretty wierd, although my handwriting is pretty good, unlike most left-handers who's writing looks like shit, seriously.)

    From what I remember, approximately 1 in 7 people are left handed, and one in 42 people are really ambidextrous, at least that's what I remember from high school, I think.

    I'm the only person in my family that is ambidextrous, and also the only left hander in a way. Everyone else in my family is right-handed, but I've always been the odd ball in my family. The rest of my family has brown eyes, and I have blue eyes, everyone else in my family wears glasses, but I have 20/20 vision, and a slew of other things. It seems that I inherited all the bad things around here (excluding the glasses), but they seem to be a fashion statement now, orz.

    EDIT - It seems that all the cool people on the forums are lefties, and all the girlies on the forums are as well, that's interesting! :wink:

    With certain pens, I have to write right handed, or I make a mess of my hand and the paper.

    Whenever I use sharpies or some kind of marker it looks like I dipped the whole side of my hand in paint lol. And the paper looks like a big blob of ink. I can't do post board type stuff at all for that reason, I have to type it and then glue it on. </3 markers

    One thing that annoys me is when I see lefties write in the "Curled up" position, where their hand is almost parallel to their bicep. It's not hard to write normally but in left hand, /shrug.

    My handwriting was nice for a while, then after school/college I've only worked in data entry/PC's, so my handwriting has slumped.

    Dad - left, mom - right, both sisters - right, me - right

    I do a lot of things with both hands though. I can throw with both hands (pretty much anything - baseballs, darts, footballs, frisbees), kick with both feet (soccer), I play pool left-handed, I ride goofy foot, and I can print decently with my left hand but cursive is a mess.

    Definitely right-dominant but flexible but I wouldn't call myself ambidextrous.

    Right; anything written with my left looks like I was first hit by a bus, then asked to write with my right.
